Chai Hot Chocolate

This is the COZIEST loving cup of love. It’sec pretty much similar drinking the silkiest melted chocolate with hints of chai spice. Topped with whipped cream. Omg. What more than could you want on a Monday morning time?

It is SO rich together with delicious too really coats the dorsum of a spoon. It’sec similar drinking chocolate rather than “hot cocoa”. Unreal. I cannot incorporate my excitement over it!

I steeped fresh ginger, star anise, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice inwards milk until it was super fragrant and delish, together with and then added a bunch of chopped nighttime chocolate, cocoa pulverization, together with a footling maple for sweet. And a pinch of table salt! Because I tin can’t take anything chocolate without common salt.

It melts into the dreamiest, silkiest hot chocolate amongst the warming, comforting smell of chai spice. It’s rich plenty that y'all could drinkable a loving cup of this for dessert too be completely satisfied. Especially when whipped cream is involved!

If you melted night chocolate into a chai latte, this is what you lot’d get. Whyyy did I not intend of this sooner?!

The whipped cream is totally optional only highly recommended. Because why not? Tis’ the flavour for fun drinks and indulgence. And treating yourself. I’m a fan of that twelvemonth circular, but particularly during the holidays.

Hot chocolate is such a nostalgic matter for me and I hardly always accept it anymore! I have and so many memories of coming inward from a long day of playing inwards the snowfall, as well as having a loving cup of powdered hot chocolate dissolved inward H2O. With mini marshmallows. There was aught meliorate.

This is totally the adult version.

Also, you lot should totally spike this.
